Mixing modern curves, shapes and materials with classic furniture and colors, Florence based architect Pierluigi Sammarro managed to turn the interior of the Geraci Residence in Calabria, Southern Italy, in a real dream home.

When Ferdinando had arrived a galley-slave in Calabria, he found himself coupled with a bandit, a brave fellow, who abhorred his chains, from all the combination of disgrace and misery they brought upon him.

We Italians were made very aware of this when, struck by the terrible disaster which buried Messina, Reggio, and many villages in Calabria and Sicily41, we were consoled by receiving touching proofs of affection and prompt aid from every part of the world.
